Electric drum brakes are electromagnetic, which use varying voltage (0-12v) to apply the brake force via a magnet that tries to attach itself to a rotating drum face and cam on the brake shoes.

Having done a lot of heavy towing with Brian James trailers I can say this is the standard all trailers should aspire to in the brake department.
Same with ifor horsefloats.
